Brunch

Blue’s Egg

Infamous for their "very stuffed browns": fresh cut hash browns packed with fillings like pulled ham, roasted mushrooms, herb crème fraiche, and more. Order the monkey bread to start with, and if your waiter asks if you'd like it "crunked" - say yes!

Brunch

Café at the Plaza

Bask in the 1920s glamour of this stylish Art Deco eatery while you enjoy your breakfast. Ask to be seated on the hidden open-air courtyard; a little slice of a traditional European cafe in the heart of the city, this is an insider favorite of many locals.

Brunch

Café Benelux

Inspired by the flavors of the Lowlands of Europe, this Grand Cafe offers breakfast favorites with an international twist, an extensive bier book (hey, it’s never too early!), and a beautiful rooftop patio to enjoy it all on.

Brunch

Fuel Café 5th Street

Fuel has serious motorcycle roots in the community, and you’ll feel a little bit cooler when you start your day at this industrial-chic café. Get something to-go from the counter-service café, or have a sit-down breakfast in the restaurant.

Brunch

Harbor House

Enjoy a one-of-a-kind view of the city from Milwaukee's only lakefront restaurant. Drink it all in while you enjoy an indulgent brunch buffet, featuring a variety of chilled seafood (including fresh oysters and clams) alongside traditional brunch favorites.

Brunch

Honeypie Café

This cozy cafe serves up delicious home cooking and, of course, a wide selection of cupcakes and pies. The wait for Sunday brunch can be long, but if you come in the summer you might snag a spot on the semi-secret patio out back.

Brunch

The Knick

Located in the Knickerbocker on the Lake, a Classical Revival boutique hotel, this colorful restaurant offers brunch favorites with a unique twist. Try the caprese omelet, and sip the impressive (and well-garnished) 22 ounce "Queen Mary" Bloody Mary.

Brunch

The Rouge at The Pfister Hotel

For the ultimate in brunch buffets, visit the grand dame of Milwaukee hotels. The menu features over 40 items, from carving stations, made-to-order pasta, fresh fruit, desserts and more. Add in mimosas and a Bloody Mary bar, and everyone will be able to sate their appetite at this local classic.

Brunch

Story Hill BKC

Treat yourself to a menu inspired by the foods of the Upper Midwest, with a healthy dose of European flair. From a variety of crepes to the traditional European breakfast of bread with quark (goat cheese made in Milwaukee's own Clock Shadow Creamery), you can dine on these treats all week.

Brunch

Sweet Diner

This stylish new spot reminds us that “life is sweet” with a tempting array of breakfast, lunch, and brunch dishes available seven days a week. Updated versions of diner classics pair with a sleek, modern interior that just begs for a #brunchstagram post.
